Spinckes, N.

THE SICK MAN VISITED: And Furnished with Instructions, Meditations, and Prayers; Suitable to his Condition, for putting him in Mind of his Change, for supporting him under his Distemper, and for preparing him for, and carrying him through his Last Conflict with Death.

Nathaniel Spinckes (1653-1727), was, according to the Oxford Dictionary of the Christian Church, "a man of considerable learning, proficient in Greek, Latin, Anglo-Saxon, and French, with some knowledge of Oriental languages . . ." He was ordained priest in 1678 and consecrated Bishop in 1713. This, his best-known work, was first published in 1712. This 1726 edition, with the imprint of Thomas Astley, not found on OCLC, though it collates the same as the 1722 third edition published by William Taylor. Separate title pages for sections at page 335 ("Some Few Meditations . . .") and page 369 ("A Collection of Farther Prayers") - both with imprint of William Taylor, 1722.
